On Friday, UNF Student Life announced at its food truck event that Lil Yachty will be the headline performer at the 2025 Ozfestival. Wale —pronounced “wall-ay”— and Red Magnolia will perform as opening acts for Lil Yachty.
Ozfestival will be held on Saturday, Feb. 1, at Lot 18 instead of UNF Arena, its usual location. The event is from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and will have carnival rides, food trucks, and a concert, with local Jacksonville band Red Magnolia as the opener.
Lil Yachty is a rapper from Mableton, Georgia. Yachty was nominated for a Grammy Album of the Year in 2022 for the album “Donda.” Red Magnolia won the 2024 UNF Battle of the Bands contest last fall. Students can learn more about Red Magnolia here.
Wale is a rapper from Washington, D.C. He rose to fame from his 2006 song “Dig Dug.” His discography includes “Bad” featuring R&B singer Tiara Thomas and “Lotus Flower Bomb” featuring R&B singer Miguel.

Guests can purchase tickets for $60 here, while alumni can access discounted tickets by visiting UNF’s homecoming site and using the code “SWOOP.”
